This shop also located on Cuba Street has been around since the 80’s and is still going strong. They have a great array of vintage clothing, shoes and accessories. Their range of dresses and coats are especially good. They have a lot of interesting stock with pieces from as far back as the 1920’s!

So basically there’s Recycle Boutique’s scattered all over the place. You can find a list of their stores over on their website. It’s a great place to get reasonably priced second hand designer pieces. They always have a good lot of big 80’s jumpers for the ultimate cosy look.

If you went through an edgy teen phase you probably remember when Smoove used to be on Little High Street. Now it’s made a new home on K Road with a much more vintage vibe. Smoove’s Reworked Vintage has a great range of adorable vintage dresses which have been recycled and re-worked into gorgeous pieces.
